Goals from Onder Turaci and De Souza Deivid had Fener comfortably ahead at the break, and although Veysel Cihan got one back for the hosts seven minutes after the re-start, there would be no equaliser.

The win lifts Fener to 32 points from 16 games, one point ahead of Sivasspor and Trabzonspor, who have both played a game less.

Sivasspor travel to play Genclerbirligi on Sunday while Trabzonspor host Eskisehirspor.

Galatasaray could also move above Fener by beating Besiktas on Sunday.

Konyaspor are 11th with 17 points.
